Oh, yeah, guess I forgot to put that in. Seems I’ve got another TL Party to get to then.

For the second piece… I’m glad you want to improve yourself, but I have to warn you that my commentary is more targeted than the basic, high-level English education that it seems you really need. I’m honestly not sure how much you’ll be able to get out of my reviews.

As of now, you are really not equipped to be translating anything on your own. What you really should be doing is reading a fuckton of English literature so you have a better idea of how to write. You wanna know how I got so good at English? Autism. Books. A lot of them. And if you’re really interested in improving, a heavy dose of literature is what you need.

That being said, I’m not here to tell you to get the fuck out of the scene. You deserve the same shot every other stupid group gets. But if you really, truly want to improve, you need to put some more effort into it than releasing gibberish subs and hoping I’ll magic you into the hallowed halls of Good English.

LOL XD That made me laugh. Well, anyways, thanks for the advice D_S. Well, at least there’s room for more improvements, I mean, life is this way, there are sides of people where they are good at and where they’re bad at. And the fact that I had once an amnesia, never really stopped me from learning English, it’s just, I really need to improve in that section as I see. Even my brother kept on yelling at me for having such bad english skills after that incident. Nevertheless, I still love you D_S, no HOMO :3

Yes, if Anime-Koi actually switches to an original TL, I’ll add HorribleSubs back in. But Anime-Koi is a special case where it’s a bit harder to take their word at face value anymore. In other words, I’ll believe it when I see it.

D_S is there any particular reason why you aren’t reviewing any of the sequels? At first I thought it would be because they’d be subbed by the same groups that did their first seasons, but after poking around I learned that’s not the case.

Gin no Saji was shit, so I’m skipping that. Haven’t seen anything from Seitokai, so that’s a miss as well. Saki was cool, but I only watched 3 eps, so that ain’t happening. Maken-ki was terrible from what I remember.

That leaves only Chuu2 (which I’ll toss in right now)… am I missing anything?

seitokai has as much plot as something like Minami-Ke (in other words, none at all) so you really can jump right into S2.

Saki S1 bored me to tears so I dropped it after 6 episodes. But i’ve started watching S2 anyway. Doesn’t look like I missed anything. Although I can understand not wanting to do reviews for this because mahjong is impossible to understand.

Achiga is indeed the only good show in the series. I liked it enough to give it a 6/10. But Saki: The Nationals has all the characters fucking around doing nothing of importance. Can’t stand to watch anymore of this. Goddamn how can they make a show with so many cute girls this boring. I’m impressed.

This is kinda late notice but if you’re reviewing EveTaku Nisekoi, could you not do episode 2? I’d rather have critique on something more representative.

We’re still figuring out staff workflow for the series; I just asked for (and people agreed to) timing happening at some point prior to QC, which didn’t happen for ep 2… but did for ep 1 because :reasons:

I know at least a couple errors (not to mention the weaker lines here and there) got through. And these may be less likely to occur with me looking at a timed script at least for one pass, especially since that’s what I’m used to doing as more of a QC / backup editor type.

Pupa would be pass/fail as are all shorts. My general expectation is that groups won’t fuck up 3 minutes of dialogue. Shorts will get reviewed (since they’re really easy for me to throw out as a post when I’m feeling like having a lazy day), but I don’t have them up in the queue.

And I can just not submit to TT because I don’t care about the site or its users. As for your name-calling, I’ve gotta say my feelings are quite hurt. Aren’t you the one always complaining that fansubbers suck at coming up with proper insults?

Considering the only scripts I’ve edited that you’ve ever reviewed got a B and an A (you might have caught more if you actually reviewed more than three shows per season), I figured you thought rather highly of my skills.

Please, I’d think less of myself if I abased myself to the level where I’m seeking your approval. After all, the only thing you’ve done here is put on a patronizing and antagonizing front coated in what I can only assume you think is wit. And I’ll gladly recognize the hypocrisy of that last sentence while pointing out that I’ve done nothing but respond to your completely baseless claims and insults.

I definitely didn’t intend to sound bitter; I’m sorry if I came off that way. I knew what kind of argument I was getting into when I started this, and it was a rather entertaining way to pass the time, so I don’t begrudge you for it. I truly am done now, though, so you can have the last word if you want it.

Of course not, but nothing in this conversation (or any other on this site) between the two of you has indicated any distaste for each other, so I can only assume there’s some drama that’s happened offstage somewhere. Not all that much of a leap :D

Well, each to their own, but I didn’t really feel his comment (I haven’t checked the veracity of it) required such an explosive reaction. But hey, it’s your site, so if you want to alienate someone for no discernible reason that anyone else can fathom, then that’s your prerogative :D

I’ve never held a grudge against D_S. I think he’s often wrong, but he’s also relatively knowledgeable when it comes to fansub editing, and nobody else who could do a better job has stepped up to the plate. I’ve always thought (and still do) that Crymore’s a useful site if you remain critical of the content and don’t just take everything at D_S’s word. Plus, he can be fairly entertaining, especially in posts like the Funi Nourin review.

That said, I’ve never felt shy to call him out when I think his opinion is bullshit, and my taunt that started all this was just a continuation of the “Nyaa vs TT” argument we’ve been having on and off for a while now. It was a cheap zinger, but that’s kind of par for the course for the tone of the site.

Anyway, I think I’m done posting here. I’ll likely still check the site now and then (I’m still looking forward to the post about the Funi panel), but there’s little point in arguing with D_S when he holds the people he’s reviewing in such contempt.

Oh, and while Xythar and I get along rather well, we live on opposite sides of the planet and are indeed separate people.

You caught me in the midst of updating the queue. The “pending” was more for “I’m not sure if they’re just gonna drop this after a few eps because Rekyu must have erectile dysfunction with the rate he finishes shows” than “I wouldn’t put it past these kids to just copy the Crunchyroll script and call it a day”, but it looks like they plan to keep with it.
